Okay, Question about Python

[osmocot404]

Is there like a GUI for Python? I learned some python when I had WIndows and they had a GUI. If I type python in the console, all I can type is a line.

Or am I doing it wrong? Do I have to write it in a text editor and then compile it? How do I get into the Python IDLE?

Windows has a program called IDLE, which is a GUI shell and text editor.

Linux doesn't have IDLE, but it does have many different text editors. Any text editor can edit Python files.

Oh, and typing "python" in a command line on Windows yields the same thing as the Linux version.

To run a program you saved, type:

python filename

Thats it!
